Washdown motors for hygienic and demanding environments

Dertec washdown motors are engineered for demanding industrial environments where hygiene, durability, and reliability are critical. Built to order, they come with IP66, IP67, and IP69K ratings, offering maximum protection against high-pressure, high-temperature water cleaning. Designed with full stainless steel SS316 and hygienic features, these motors set the benchmark in the industry.

Washdown motors are essential in industries where frequent cleaning with water, chemicals, and high-pressure hoses is required. Standard motors can’t withstand the harsh conditions of washdowns, but Dertec washdown motors are designed specifically for these environments.

Designed to Perform

motors are designed to handle the real-world challenges that go beyond typical IP test standards. When high-pressure cleaning is performed immediately after a machine stops, temperature differences of up to 70°C can occur, causing water and moisture to be sucked into the motor. Our innovative pressure-regulating technology prevents this, ensuring extended motor life and reduced maintenance.

1. Superior IP Protection

• IP66, IP67, and IP69K Ratings: Ensuring maximum water and dust resistance.
• Tested Beyond Standards: Designed to handle high-pressure, high-temperature cleaning.

2. Hygienic Stainless Steel Design

• SS316 Construction: Prevents corrosion and ensures long-lasting performance.
• Hygienic Seals ( FDA compliant): Engineered to resist water and contamination.

3. Enhanced Sealing Technology

• Improved Seals and O-Rings: Made from food-grade materials for maximum safety.
• Laser-Engraved Tag Plate: Ensures durability even after frequent cleaning.

4. Anti-Condensation and Pressure Regulation

• Stainless Steel Aerators: Minimize condensation buildup caused by rapid temperature changes.
• Anti-Condensation breather: Reduces the risk of water ingress

Our stainless-steel wash down motors are widely used in industries such as:

• Food and Beverage Processing: For conveyors, mixers,, and packaging machines.
• Pharmaceutical Production: Ensuring hygiene and reliability in sterile environments.
• Marine and Offshore: Withstanding harsh, saltwater conditions.

Their durability, hygienic design and corrosion resistance make them the perfect choice for demanding industrial environments.
